The Canadian Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier has resigned after leaving classified documents in a non-secure location. Mr. Bernier has recently faced questions about his a former girlfriend, who’s alleged to have had relationships with members of the Heill’s Angel’s Backgagbiker gang, which has links to organisezed crime. From Toronto, Lee Carter reports.

The Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper said that Maxime Bernier’s controversial relationship with a woman who had past romantic links to the Heill’s Angels was not a factor in the decision. But that has been flecsly flatly contradicted by a number of sources, including the woman herself, Julie Couillard. On Quebec French language television hours after the resignation, she said that Mr.Minister Bernier was careless with the classified document leaving it at her residencets in mid April, after spending time with her there.
